Generally, settling an estate requires an extensive appraisal report to suggest fair market value for the house to the satisfaction of the parties involved. It's understandable that thinking about an appraisal is the farthest thought from your mind. So, there's a chance the time an appraisal is requested will be different from the date of death. Our staff is comfortable with the systems and requirements needed to perform a retroactive appraisal with an effective date and fair market value estimate matching the exact date of death. The ethical obligations explained within the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP) conforms our company to confidentiality, certifying the strongest degree of discretion for you and your loved ones.
